“…when we know that we are love, we don’t need to work at being loving towards others. Instead, we just have to be true to ourselves, and we become the instruments of loving energy…” Anita Moorjani, Dying To Be Me
The work we have to do is always an inside job. We don’t wake up everyday and realize the amazing beings that we are. We haven’t been told from the beginning of our life that what we really are is powerful and magnificent and beyond anything in the physical world. Jesus tried to tell us this when after performing a ‘miracle’ he said…these things I’m doing, you will do them too…and in fact greater things you will also do! Jesus knew the truth…that he wasn’t able to heal the sick and turn water into wine because of who he was…but because of what he was…an expression of the one source in all the universe, LOVE.
Anita is telling us the same thing…as have many teachers past and present…that we are not our physical bodies. We only need to be what we already are…and when we come from this love we don’t have to try to love anybody or anything else. We simply are true to the essence of what we are and we naturally and easily express our loving nature.
Of course there is a bit of work on our part to get to this point. It is not a work of doing and trying. It is not about making it happen or figuring it out. It isn’t about changing our life circumstance. It is simply releasing and allowing.
Release happens when we become aware of our resistance or clinging…and then when we experience whatever it is that is keeping us in a state of discomfort or disease and let is pass through. In this way we release our attachment to it…our attachment to a specific outcome or an expected behavior. When we experience this release…the allow part happens. Our old belief or condition or need is gone and we can feel the energy of what we truly are pour forth in us…LOVE.
This week, practice releasing an idea that you hold tightly. It may be idea you hold about yourself or someone else. Sit for a minute and you will know what it is. Experience it and let it pass through…and feel the love that you are. This love is what you are…your true self.
Peace always
Paula
